Vintage rose nail art

Ciao!

This is the last nail art with the amazing products Born Pretty Store sent me.
They have a wide range of water decals but I completely feel in love with this pattern; it shows some delicate roses in two shades, a peach pink and an ivory white, on the background you can see some green leaves. The print is very detailed and it will look wonderful on long nails as well as short ones.

This pattern will give a delicate and elegant touch to your style, perfect for weddings too, you could paint all of your nails with a peach pink shade and add the decals only on the accent ring finger.

The waterdecals are protected by a trasparent sheet. You can select the size and the design you want, cut it with a scissor. Don't forget to remove the plastic sheet.
Now you can plunge it into water and wait for 10-20 seconds.
The design will separate from the paper, and it's ready to use.
The instructions suggest to place it on  the nail and blow dry. (I skipped the last part because it's very hot today and the design dried fast). The last step is to secure it with clear nail polish.

Even if your nails are quite long you get enough product to cover all of your ten nails. 

I decided to do something more creative with it!

I used a light nail polish as base on the thumb, index and ring finger. 

Then I applied the water decals on on the entire nail.

On the middel finger and pink I applied a dark green colour and I added a stamping nails art in gold, a rose pattern that matches the water decal. The stamping plate is from MoYou London, Flower power collection plate 04.

I wanted to add a sparkling touch to the entire look so I painted a line on the side of the thumb and middle finger in gold, then I used a iridescent green paper to create a broken glass effect. ( I used a gift paper wrap).

This is the result. I hope you like it.

Flower pattern nail art!

Hi guys!
it's time for a new nail art!
This one is really easy and quick because I used some water decals from Born Pretty Store.
The company kindly send me some items.

This flower pattern is gorgeous, the shades shift from burgundy, red and orange, it has a touch of green too. the background is sheer so you can pair it with a lot of other colours, I chose the white because I wanted to show the perfection of this design but you can wear it with a peach pink, light green, beige or a yellow too.

You will receive a sheet with two different prints ( I will use the other one for another nail art). You have enough decals for covering all your ten nails. These declas are too beautiful I didn't want to use them all for only one manis so I used the dacals for two accent nails.
These decals are very thin and you can stretch them a bit so that the design will follow tha natural curve of you nails.
If don't know how to apply them you can read this post.
On the rest of the nails I did a degradè using some matching shades.

I hope you'll like it!

Tribal nude nails!

Hello there!
today I would like to review another product from Born Pretty Store .
It's a tribal pattern water decal sheet.

Tribal or ethnic prints have become a trend in fashion clothing, nail art and home decor. I appreciate this trend because it gives the possibility of a delicate transition between traditional and modern style. I love to wear colourful geometric pattern on my nails in summer but I think this black and white decoration is gorgeous in winter too.

If you order this product you will receive an entire sheet of water decals, the pattern is very particular, it reminds me of an aztec drawing in black with a white background. The white background is not sheer at all, this means that you can use it with a dark base too.

The designs are in different sizes, if you want you can use the large one to cover an entire nail or cut the sheet and play with your imagination like I did in this nail art.

I have cut some stripes horizontally and placed them on the nails leaving some space.

Once you have cut the design you have to remove the plastic top.
This step is very important because if you don't remove the plastic film you will have an unusable water decal.
Soak the piece of the pattern in water for few seconds and then remove the decal off the backing.
Place it on the nail, smooth the surface and be careful, you might create some air bubbles. It's a good tip to dab the eccess of water with a tissue (or you can blow dry).
Seal the design with a clear top coat.
You can cut the eccess of the decal with some scissors or remove it carefully with a small brush and some nail polish remover.

I decided to use a pink nude shade as base, but I think this decals will look good on dark polish too.

I added some triangular 3d decorations in gold and bright pink and matched the look with a midi-ring.

Let me know what do you think about this nail art!

Silver and blue star nail art!

Hi readers!
Few days ago I received some items from Born Pretty Store.
I've never used vinyls stickers so I was quite curious to try and see how they will work..
If you are a newbie in nail art this kind of products are the best because the design is already made and you don't have to be too precise.

They sent me the stencil number NK 03 which contains 12 stencil: 6 with some stars and other six with a leopard print (you can find many other patterns in their site).

You can use my coupon code at check out to get 10% off RASX31 on www.bornprettystore.com

For this nail art I decided to go for the star pattern.


How to use:
First of all you have to apply a base colour.
You can cut the section of the stencil you want to use, remove the transparent paper and stick it on the nail. (Please remember the nails polish have to be completely dried). The stencil is sticky, it will stay on perfectly.

At this stage you can apply a layer of nail polish. But I did something different. I used a make up sponge to dab some colours on the stencil. In this way you can apply the right amount of nail polish and prevent it from smudging moreover you can create an easy ombrée effect with different shades (as I did on one finger mixing pink, blue and purple).

Remove carfully the sticker and finish with a layer of top coat.

For the last touch I used some 3D decoration: these five pointed gold stars I painted in blue to match the nail art.

These kind of decorations are very versatile, they are perfect on the top or the bottom of the nail, there are other 4 colours available: gold, glittery white, white anf black. You can use them to decorate any kind of object and you can glue them on nails with some clear nail polish.

Peacock feather nail art

Hello everybody!
Today I would like to show you a colourful nail art for summer!
I recently received some items from Born Pretty Store. They were so kind to let me chose some items and send me some samples to try.
I choose a peacock pattern water decals and some triangle nail art decorations. (click on name for the link). I think these two items match perfectly for a nail art.

It was my fist time with water decals but I can say these were pretty easy to use.
The waterdecals are protected by a trasparent sheet. You can select the size and the design you want, cut it with a scissor. Don't forget to remove the plastic sheet.
Now you can plunge it into water and wait for 10-20 seconds.
The design will separate from the paper, and it's ready to use.
The instructions suggest to place it on  the nail and blow dry. (I skipped the last part because it's very hot today and the design dried fast). The last step is to secure it with clear nail polish.

You can cover the whole nail but i decided to do something more creative.
I used a white nail polish as base and I applied the decals vertically or across the nail leaving some space and adding a gold sand effect nail polish (from Essence).
The design is beautiful, there are some peacock feather, a colorful and iridescent plumage, and the main colour are light blue and yellow. The design it's perfect and you can't achieve this detailed drawing with stamping or free hand.

On two nails I used white, yellow and light blue and I added some decorations.
These decoration are very particular, they are triangular and have a delicate texure. I like it in golden but you can find them in silver too. You can apply them with a dotting tool and some clear nail polish used as glue. They are quite small so they stay well on nails.

Let me know what you think!
